Wanted Boko Haram Commander has been Arrested

On Sunday, May 14, 2017, the special Troops of 233 Battalion of the Nigerian Army Force together with vigilantes captured the top player of Boko Haram extremist group — Abubaka Adamu.

Naij managed to know the details of this military operation. The notorious terrorist was arrested in Potiskum, which is located in Yobe State. Abubaka Adamu is 35 years old. Everyone knows him by the hot moniker “Pepper.” It is a very bloodthirsty and merciless killer.

Brigadier General Sani Kukasheka Usman, the Director of Army Public Relations, especially emphasized the fact that Abubaka Adamu would never have been arrested without the assistance of the loyal local vigilantes.

According to the first round investigation, the situation was developing in the following way. The Yerimara village located near Potiskum is the terrorist`s home. That is where he was probably caught.

Presently, it is proved that this Boko Haram kingpin already participated in numerous terroristic attacks and other harmful activities in the northeast of Nigeria. All of them caused thousands of deaths across the country.

At the moment, the Police and Army officials are overjoyed of catching such a high-flying terrorist. The officials keep on saying that it was a great success. The Army commanders thanked all the soldiers who participated in this extremely dangerous military operation. Presently, the investigation is keeping on.

In response to these actions, Boko Haram insurgents brutally killed eleven farmers in Amarwa village (Konduga LGA). Though the locals said that the terrorists were searching for food, the officials did not hesitate that it was the revenge for their arrested leader. Another yet unknown Boko Haram leader told that their attacks were just beginning.

Boko Haram is an influential and notoriously known Islamic extremist group. In 2016, the Global Terrorism Index ranked it the deadliest terror group on the planet. Its headquarters is located in northeastern Nigeria. This group also has numerous branches in Niger, Chad, and Cameroon. Now Abu Musab al-Barnawi leads Boko Haram. It is a very dangerous and heartless terrorist. Boko Haram is known to have alleged links to al-Qaeda. In spring 2015, the group released its loyalty to ISIL.

Boko Haram`s current rebellion began in 2009. Since that time, the terrorists have already killed over 22 thousand people. Almost 2.35 million of people have been moved from their homes.
